Survey Question Checker

Paste your survey questions below and our AI will check each one for bias, leading language, double-barreled structure, and other common problems. You will get specific feedback and suggested rewrites.

How This Calculator Works

The Question Checker uses AI to analyze your survey questions against seven common quality issues: leading language, double-barreled questions, biased framing, unclear scales, missing response options, excessive length, and negation confusion.

For each question, the AI identifies specific problems, explains why they matter, and suggests an improved version. Questions are scored from 1 to 10, where 10 means no issues detected.

The analysis is powered by the same AI models that drive Inqvey surveys, demonstrating the quality of language understanding behind our prediction engine.

The Formula

Quality Score (1-10): Each question is scored based on the number and severity of issues detected. A score of 10 means no problems found. Critical issues (leading language, double-barreled) reduce the score more than warnings (minor length concerns).

Issue Severity: Critical issues can fundamentally change how respondents answer, introducing systematic bias into your results. Warnings are less severe but still worth addressing for cleaner data.

How to Interpret Your Results

Score 8-10: Your questions are well-written. Minor improvements may be possible but the questions will produce reliable data as written.

Score 5-7: Some issues detected that could affect response quality. Review the suggested rewrites and consider updating your questions before launching.

Score 1-4: Significant problems found. These questions are likely to produce biased or unreliable responses. Use the suggested rewrites as starting points for revision.

Frequently Asked Questions

A leading question pushes respondents toward a particular answer. For example, "How much do you love our product?" assumes the respondent loves it. A neutral version would be "How would you describe your feelings about our product?"
A double-barreled question asks about two things at once, making it impossible to give a clear answer. For example, "How satisfied are you with our pricing and customer service?" should be split into two separate questions.
You can check up to 10 questions at a time. Each check analyzes all your questions and provides individual feedback for each one.
Yes. Your questions are sent to the AI for analysis and are not stored, shared, or used for any other purpose. The analysis happens in real time and results are only shown to you.
The Question Checker uses the same AI technology that powers Inqvey surveys. It understands context, tone, and subtle bias patterns that simple rule-based tools miss.
Yes. The checker follows established survey methodology principles used in academic research. It flags issues that could compromise data validity, including problems commonly flagged in IRB reviews.
